WARNING!

Before starting work on the hydraulic system, the pressure must first be relieved in a
controlled manner. The system has an overpressure of 14 bar, which means that the
oil will be forced out if a union is opened without relieving the system. This means
there is a risk of eye injury. Wear protective goggles.
The accumulator tank is filled with nitrogen at an overpressure of approx. 8.5 bar.
This means that the accumulator tank is pressurised even if there is no oil in the sys-
tem.
Hydraulic oil is aggressive; avoid skin contact at all times. Wear protective gloves.

Relieving the pressure:

1. Close the return valve. Unscrew the pressure limiting valve. 1 3

marked Y/Z or L3/L4 on the accumulator as illustrated.

the filling equipment tank.
4. Oil can be drained from the pipe using compressed air. The connections on the
master cylinder and centering cylinder must then be undone.
